Merlin VSM/MMe with Berning ZH-270


I have just acquired a ZH-270 to use with my Merlins, I have the following setup Mark Levinson no37/360s, Berning ZH-270, Merlin VSM/MMe with the SBAM connected between DAC and Amp as there is no tape loop. My Problem is that on most CDs I get a distorted sound, especially at Norm or Med feedback settings?.
Thanks in advance

david, a pre with a tape loop is a must for multiple source systems and best sound with the merlin's.
check and see how long the charge lasts and let me know.
we can also add another input to the bam with a switch. this works well and i inexpensive to have done.
ok?

a tube pre would be even better. the tube line output stage will buffer the bam and make it sound more robust, expansive and real.
